Jeff's Hair: Then And Now

[Scalzunfield]

I still think we're missing the point here: is it really time for a new album already?

Usually these threads only show up here when there seems to be absolutely nothing else to discuss...

You got that right! Of all the guys, John has such an easy appeal. He looks like he'd be easy to talk to, from the perspective of a rabid fan.

 

But back to Jeff's hair. I kind of wish he'd play around with the vintage 50's look he was working, maybe in the late 90's.

 

How 'bout this?

 

i love this picture of jeff.

[Shakespeare In The Alley]

the real question is jeff or jay farrar?

 

my money's on jeff, because i dont think jay looks good with the facial hair he always seems to have.

[Kim Bodnia]

Jay.

From an interview with "Hair on the Brain" in May 2010 http://www.haironthe...w-salon-owners/[/size]>

 

Sparrow is the new big-deal hair salon in Chicago. Owners Susan Flaga and Bathsheba Nemerovski opened the salon in a 120 year-old building in Logan Square, and they’ve gotten tons of attention ever since–the New York Times called Bathsheba one of Chicago’s best-kept secrets. Well, the secret is out. Sparrow has cultivated a devoted following, thanks to the duo’s low-maintenance cuts and natural-looking color. And Bathsheba cuts everyone’s hair from Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy to pre-teen blogging sensation, Tavi Gevinson.

...

 

HOTB: How did you wind up doing Jeff Tweedy’s hair?

Bathsheba: Jeff and his wife Susie have been friends of mine for years. I do the whole family’s hair.

 

I gotta come out of seclusion for this one...Jeff PAID for that haircut?

[Chinese Apple]

Jeff PAID for that haircut?

 

You, too, can request a "Jeff Tweedy" for under 65 dollars including tip.

at Sparrow offers a low-maintenance cut ($56) favored by the likes of Wilco’s Jeff Tweedy."

It was a little cool when it appeared to be a DIY, sloppy hair statement. Now that it's a high couture hair style...

[Shakespeare In The Alley]

I haven't paid for a haircut in years, and I haven't paid $50+ for a haircut ever.

 

I don't even think I've topped $15, tip included.

Ditto.

Now that I think about it, I do not do my job in front of 2,000 people. If I did, I might get a 50 dollar haircut.

Since much of the press/PR about his hairdresser mentions him, she likely benefits financially and professionally by association. Maybe he gets comped for his coiffure?

[Shakespeare In The Alley]

I'd like to see some sort of chart showing the relationship between the cost of Jeff's haircuts and the quality of his music.

[SarahC]

I agree. He's so much hotter since he got his braces off.

 

 

this is my new favorite thread

I don't think "quality of music" is objectively quantifiable, but I think probably if we go by record sales as an indicator, then there should be a strong correlation between haircuts he can afford and high record sales.

 

I love Jeff Tweedy's hair. I love his hat. I love his music. I would gladly pay for his haircuts by buying more records, merchandise and seeing live shows.
